Mark Drakeford has made the strongest statement yet in favour of fair votes of any leading Labour politician. It is probable that his stock is higher among Labour members than not only their former national leader but also the present one. This must give the best chance yet of reversing Labour's age-old support for our primitive first-past-the-post system for electing parliament. It should not be ducked, as Tony Blair ducked it in 1997. Reneging on his agreement with Paddy Ashdown and Roy Jenkins led eventually in 2019 to giving the keys to No. 10 to a destructive charlatan of whom even our friends abroad make fun.
